A cursed human prince determined to undo the wrong he did.

Will they see that only one of them is cursed before waves separate them forever?

A clean fantasy romance retelling of ＂The Little Mermaid＂ and ＂The Crystal Ball＂

When Crestfall’s ambassador to a curse-prone human kingdom retires, Tala is the unlucky mermaid chosen to replace him. Her bad luck changes to disaster when she’s injured carrying an urgent message to her king. Her rescuer-a human prince cursed to be a whale by day-takes her to a feared enchantress to save her from her supposed curse of being half-fish.

Stuck with a doltish prince who might just be more than he seems, an urgent message, and no fins, Tala must join a hunt for a crystal ball to save not just her scales but both human and underwater kingdoms. Can she find it before her heart gets hopelessly tangled up with a prince who doesn’t belong to the sea she loves?
